Milkweed

Milkweed are a UK-based group gaining traction in the alternative folk and experimental music scenes. Melding traditional influences with a forward-thinking approach, Milkweed have forged a distinct sound that engages audiences looking for something off the beaten track. Their imaginative blend of slacker trad, alternative folk, and experimental soundscapes sets them apart in the contemporary folk sphere.

Their discography reflects this innovative ethos, with recent releases including the album "Folklore 1979" (February 2024) and the evocative single "Slow Dance 23.5" (January 2024). Looking ahead, Milkweed are set to release "Remscéla" in May 2025, continuing their exploration of myth and modernity through intricate arrangements and storytelling. Their track titles such as "Imbas Forasnai, the Light of Foresight" and "How the Táin Bó Cuailnge was Found Again" reveal a deep engagement with folklore and narrative tradition.

On the live circuit, Milkweed have supported acts such as 137 at Malmesbury's WESTPORT SOUND in Wiltshire in October 2025, further demonstrating their presence in the UK's vibrant live music scene.
